Statewide backstop · AB 1482

California Tenant Protection Act of 2019

Even when a building isn't covered by local rent stabilization, the statewide Tenant Protection Act (AB 1482) may still apply. It caps annual rent increases and requires the landlord to state a legal reason to end most tenancies.

15+ years since occupancy
Built 1989
Annual rent increase cap
5% + CPI, max 10%
Just-cause eviction
After 12 months
May be covered by AB 1482. The building is old enough for the statewide rent cap (5% + regional CPI, capped at 10% per year) and just-cause protection after 12 months of tenancy.

AB 1482 does not apply to single-family homes and condos unless owned by a corporation, REIT, or an LLC with a corporate member; to owner-occupied duplexes; or to deed-restricted affordable housing. The Act is in effect until January 1, 2030. Not legal advice — see the California landlord–tenant guide.

Initial analysis

The property at 2980-2990 24th Street is a 3-story, 10-unit multi-family residential building constructed in 1989, currently owned by the Alan P. McCarthy Living Trust. The building has undergone numerous renovations and improvements over the years, with significant recent work including the installation of a new fire alarm system in 2020 ($18,000), most recently upgraded in March 2023 to meet current safety standards, and the addition of low-frequency sounders for occupant notification. The building's history includes several instances of unit modifications and compliance issues, particularly between 2006-2008, when unauthorized unit conversions and construction work were reported, including the creation of living space in former storage areas and the installation of unpermitted bathrooms. These violations were ultimately abated by July 2022.

The property has experienced various maintenance and safety-related issues over the years, with recent concerns in 2024 including reports of rodent infestation and multiple garbage collection complaints. Historical complaints show patterns of unauthorized construction work, particularly during 2009-2010, when several violations were reported regarding window replacements, interior modifications, and restaurant-related improvements. The building's commercial space has been subject to multiple compliance issues, including a vacant storefront violation in 2022 and past fire code violations related to the restaurant exhaust system and hood maintenance. Recent improvements include the proposed installation of AT&T's telecommunications equipment on the roof (currently on hold), new ADA-compliant facilities, and various interior upgrades to individual units. The property has shown ongoing efforts to address safety and compliance issues, as evidenced by the recent fire alarm system upgrades and the resolution of historical violations through proper permitting and inspection procedures.

Risk rating

How 2980-2990 24Th St's risk score is calculated

We trained a model on 7 years of SF DBI inspection data — notice of violation filings, complaint history, and owner track records. It estimates the probability that DBI inspectors will issue a Notice of Violation at this address in the next 12 months. Lower % = safer.

What the score means for you

Lower risk — safer than most nearby

DBI rarely finds violations here. Strong maintenance history and a clean complaint record.

Typical — about average for the neighborhood

Some past violations or complaints on record. Worth asking the landlord about any open issues before signing.

Higher risk — riskier than most nearby

Elevated violation and complaint history. DBI has found issues here before and is statistically likely to again.

Neighborhood percentile
11thpercentile

Out of 2380 buildings in this neighborhood, 2118 are predicted to be safer. The band is relative to this neighborhood, so a share of every neighborhood falls in each colour.
